Constraints!

So I've been working on constraints for a while and got some stuff working so I thought I'd post some quick video clips. So far I have contact constraints and distance joints working, although contacts still have quite a few issues so stacking doesn't work yet. With the distance joints I was able to build a quick rope bridge that I made some videos of.





Some quick notes about these videos. First, this was my first attempt at making a rope bridge once I just found a big stability issue, so this video was recorded in debug mode. Second, you can see that contact constraints kind of work, but things like friction aren't the greatest in the first video. I had to make the block move slower otherwise it kept slipping off.

Anyways, that's a quick glimpse of what I'm working on. Pretty soon I hope to have contact constraints working well enough to stack and I'll also get up a better video that's in release mode. I will most likely be giving a lecture on constraints for the game physics club at my school soon, so I will be making some slides explaining constraints and the process of making them work.
